This has become so popular in gyms now that people who really don't have "round" butts wear them anyway. I like 'em. Opinions?

    I haven't tried them...I'm afraid they'd feel like a wedgie🤣

    So you’re telling me, right when I’ve gotten to the point I finally like my butt, it’s no longer in fashion?

    Since when did *kitten* shapes become fashion statements?

    Uni-boobs, round butts, peach butts, when will it all stop!!!!! it was so much easier when all we had to worry about was “Lift and Shape”.

    It’s gotten so insane, my husband actually waved me over in aquafit yesterday and whispered in my ear, in utter befuddlement, ”Do you think her butt is real?”

    OMG I just googled this, and the photos are a riot!

    How do they sit???!!!!!!

    Fashion goes in cycles. This is a throwback to the days of those skirts that were so wide and so humped that women had to go through doors sideways.

    And they come in anti-cellulite versions.

    This is the most entertainment I’ve had in a while, btw. @ninerbuff i don’t know whether to smack you, or give you a big ole smackeroo

    You know what? I'm not googling what they are. I don't need them following me around the internet for the next 2 months.

    I saw that too! Hilarious. Gotta give it to marketing teams that cater to women.

    I admit it. I googled it. But I am now confused. What do those of us who have lost weight and now have an itty bitty booty put in those “sculpted sacs” that “scrunch and ruche” your tusch?

    Why did I google for this? Right after waking up?!? :D:s It's late afternoon now, and I still have many questions :#

    Wait, this was posted by the guy who, for a whole while had no lower body on his profile pic, and currently lacks a head. I wonder...

    You know those guys who get, erm, stuck because of Viagra?

    This is like perma-twerk for women.

    Can you imagine the ER visits?

    “My leggings got my butt stuck. Can you un-twerk me?”

    This is why I refuse to own a fabric couch. I don't like fabric car seats, either. When I overthink, I think about everyone's rearend sitting on that same couch fabric...day after day and year and year. There's a fabric couch at the rec center and they need to burn it. I think about the kids who lay their heads down on that fabric. All I can say, you'll need to order some of that new loom-eee deodorant to go along with these pants...and watch where you're putting that thing. Ahhh, hells bells, burn the pants when you're done with them.

    I have one pair I snagged on clearance (like $8) because I liked the high waist - did NOT KNOW they were butt scrunch leggings until they showed up.

    Honestly they are my favorite pair, if they had pockets they would be my ride or die pair.

    They fit to my shape, on the butt. Regular leggings (and all pants, for that matter) struggle with the transition from two legs, two glute muscles, that move independently - to one butt. If it's too low, it looks saggy and doesn't move well (in activewear). If it's too high, it gives you wedgies.

    The same goes for thongs I guess, if you put it there on purpose, you don't have to pick it out. Same with the leggings.

    I have 3 pair of leggings in rotation, two regular and one scrunch - the regular ones I have to pick at and adjust throughout my glute day as I go from deep squats to standing and back, it is just too much for the fabric to recover from on it's own.

    Oh and they are my only leggings that DON'T have a center front seam.

    They make the ones now that also have "moon crests" that shadow under your butt cheeks.

    You seem peculiarly invested in these britches

    I had to google this (incognito). Don't care for it. Most of them look so fake. Reminded me of cheap looking muscle suits worn under clothing.

    Oh they look great on the right butt. Not so great on others. :D

    They are all over my gym. Both versions. I just can't. I just chalk it up to "I'm too old" for that fashion choice.

    Sometimes I see things and I wonder if it's just me, or if the world has gone mad.

    Last time I felt it this strongly was when I saw an Advent calendar for cats, in a shop in October :D

    I always buy my friend’s cat an Advent Calendar 😳 He likes the treats and sits by the calendar every morning…

    I'd buy an advent calendar for cats. Because it means I'd need a cat as well. Butt lift leggings though? I can only wholeheartedly say NOPE!

    OMG, I had to google. I have no butt anymore. It's all flat and gross. Pushup pants (like pushup bra) would be fine, but that's like stuffing your bra. It's so fake!

    But I think the relevant factor to the potential buyer is whether their personal butt looks better in them than in regular leggings, moreso than whether it looks objectively good?

    FTR: I'm a no. My flat li'l ol' lady butt is just fine the way it is, to me, and I don't care who thinks otherwise. 🙄🤣

    Cheez Louise. Now that I know about butt lift leggings, I’m spending an awful lot of time at the gym looking at other women’s butts.

    I don’t get it. We bust our *kitten*-literally- to make them smaller, and then spend money to make them look cartoonish?

    Some women are built that way. The same reason also some women get "cartoonish" sized boobs. To each their own. I know I have a butt that most people think is fake due to my waist ratio and heavy lifting lifestyle, I hope no one thinks I am cartoonish. *shrug*

    The ideal rear has changed over the last 30 years. JLo's the pioneer. Along came KK and the rest is history. They made the culture pop. Baby got back. These leggings rock Niner's world, so live and let live. We're all about the tiny hiney out here because we actually feel sorry for the horse. When you knock everything off shelves on both sides of the aisle, winning.
